This Zinsco Panel Needs To Be Replaced!

Long time Sacramento, California home inspector Ken Ives sent along some great Zinsco electrical panel pics. Ken shares with his clients...

“It would be best to have this panel further evaluated by a licensed electrician and if there are any evidences of charring at the breaker to bus bar connections, then you should upgrade the panel.”Ken Ives Sacramento, Ca.That is the very least that a good home inspector should be recommending when they encounter a Zinsco panel. Why? Because they are prone to poor connections that can escalate to a fire in the home.

But what happens when we make that recommendation to our clients? Do they actually call in an electrician?
